Communication Activities
ECCK releases its White Paper and hosts the IP Dialogue annually. The White Paper contains recommendations from European companies regarding the Korean business environment. This annual publication serves as a bridge between European businesses and the Korean government, fostering collaboration toward creating a better business environment. During the IP Dialogue, officials from the European Commission and Korea meet to discuss recent legislative and policy developments related to intellectual property. In 2025, ECCK, together with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), successfully hosted the 13th Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Conference on 9 September under the theme “IP Strategies in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.” The conference was organized as part of the EU–RoK IP Action.
